best3444 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 As some of you know her "new" laptop broke on her out of nowhere. She was using it for administrative work and wants to continue this line of work. The company that she is associated with will not provide her with a laptop. She is really struggling financially and is really making an effort to pursue employment. If all of us chip in (any amount will suffice) we can make her dream come true. She's really is putting a lot of effort in trying to work and make a living. Unfortunately she doesn't have the finances to buy a new laptop but with a bunch of us contributing we could buy her a decent laptop. I'm not experienced in how to collect the money but I encourage everyone with a little bit of money to spare to contribute any amount of money to help her out. I can't start the donation once we get it setup. Please help guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, please NEVER do this again. I've repeatedly demonstrated my generosity time and again on this board without needing to be "called out" to make contribution to something. There are few things in this world that get me quite as angry as this. Are we absolutely clear on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Just now, Rachel said: yeah I'll just squint and use my broken laptop hooked up to the tv for a couple months until I can afford another one. I think that's better. Thanks anyway everyone for being willing to donate. What? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Just now, Rachel said: The screen of the laptop is what's broken, so if I hook up the laptop to a TV with an HDMI cable I can still use it. I have to squint though cause it's kinda hard to read and work that way but it's not the end of the world. There's people out there who can't see their screen at all and actually need a laptop. I'm not one of them. This is just an inconvenience. I feel guilty about being entitled, I've gotten a lot from people here over the years. Enough is enough. Stop it. We can get this done for you and with the great group of people willing to contribute we can make this happen. Stay positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
